12300 And Still Going


I had a couple of potential updates in the works but I've halted them temporarily. And I also apologize for my lack of updates as per the schedule I set out on but I will resume as soon as possible.

I purchased roughly 45 new albums while I was out in San Francisco at Amoeba Records in the Haight area. So currently I am working on getting my music collection completely updated and listening to many of the new albums in their entirety. There should be some new material there to document, much of which will be from albums that are years old, but good music is good music.

I should also be updating on the book front as I am going through a ravenous period of reading. Currently, I'm between three books and just finished three (two of which I purchased and read during my trip). In my current cue is Half Asleep In Frog's Pajamas, Spook Country, and a book by Maugham. I recently updated my book list also so I'm doing well on tracking right now of some of my goals.

It's been a while since I've been to the cinema so I hope to make that trip sometime within the next week or so. I haven't been watching movies so much as I've been watching television shows to catch up on culture buzz. I refused to watch Lost and now upon hearing that it'll be ending for good I finally feel comfortable watching the series through. There's a logos that I hold where I am uninterested by major components of main stream culture, or becoming part of that shared experience as it is happening. I prefer to witness it from a more objective viewpoint. This isn't to say that I don't share that experience all the time, I've engaged various things from time to time, I just don't like being part of the herd as it goes from point to point. I like to take the short cut sometimes or enjoy blazing a trail all my own and taking "the long way home".

I will say this though, Hurley is probably my favorite character due to his reactions to some of the events as well as his quotes.

So I will be back with plenty of material soon enough.

Hugo "Hurley" Reyes-
Look, I don't know about you, but things have really sucked for me lately, and I could really use a victory. So let's get one, dude! Let's get this car started. Let's look death in the face and say: "Whatever, man!"
